One fundamental pattern is the ring pattern, consisting of $N$ equally distributed spots on a circle with a certain radius. Depending on the parameters of the system, stationary or moving (i.e., traveling and rotating) $N$-spot rings can be observed. In order to understand the emergence of these patterns, we describe the dynamics of $N$ spots by a set of reduced ordinary differential equations (ODEs) encoding the information of each spot's location and velocity. On the basis of the reduced system, we analytically study the existence and stability of stationary and moving $N$-spot ring solutions, similar to the collective motion of self-propelled particles. Numerical simulations are provided to verify our results with fixed parameters.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.02740v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2204.02740v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"dynamics-of-n-spot-rings-with-oscillatory","repo_url":"https://github.com/KaleonXie/Interaction-of-Spots-with-Oscilltory-Tails","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
